why don't you buy a sub instead of the center?

Phantom center (no center speaker) can sound good and the receiver will know what to do with the audio, but Alpha B1 without sub... not so good eh?

I take it you have already decided you like the PSB Alphas and they are great.

So after you get them, take them to the shop and test with the prospective receivers. People here will recommend the ones they use or like - they may even use them with PSBs, but its your ears you have to please. Once you've checked the boxes for the features you want from the receiver all that's left is the sound...
